DIY Things to Consider

We want everyone to grow their own food. If you have the time, skills, money, and patience, you could try to build your own tower. Here are some things to consider.

Our Goal is to Make Growing Your
Own Food One of the Easiest
Things You've Even Done.

DIY

Yes you could, but do you have the time, money, and patience?

Researching and Planning

Building a grow tower requires thorough research and planning to understand the necessary components, materials, and techniques involved. This process can be time-consuming and may require investment in educational resources.

Sourcing Materials

Gathering all the necessary materials for constructing a grow tower, including lumber, PVC pipes, connectors, grow trays, reservoirs, and other structural components, can be a time-consuming task. It may also involve visiting multiple stores or online platforms to find the best prices and suitable options.

Construction and Assembly

Building a grow tower involves various construction and assembly tasks, such as cutting and drilling the materials, connecting the components, and ensuring structural stability. This process requires time, effort, and potentially specialized tools or equipment.

Designing and Installing Irrigation System

A proper irrigation system is crucial for a grow tower. Designing and installing an efficient watering system, including pipes, tubing, pumps, timers, and drip emitters or misters, requires technical knowledge and may involve additional costs.

Electrical Setup

If the grow tower requires electrical components, such as lights, fans, or heating systems, setting up the electrical infrastructure can be a complex and time-consuming task. It may involve wiring, installing outlets, and ensuring safety measures are in place.

Nutrient Solution and pH Balancing

To ensure optimal plant growth in a grow tower, the nutrient solution needs to be properly mixed and balanced. This involves researching and purchasing suitable nutrients, testing and adjusting the pH levels, and monitoring nutrient concentration regularly.

System Calibration and Troubleshooting

Once the grow tower is set up, calibrating the system to ensure proper water flow, nutrient delivery, and environmental conditions requires time and effort. Additionally, troubleshooting potential issues such as clogged pipes, malfunctioning equipment, or imbalanced nutrient levels can be challenging and may incur additional expenses.

Software/Analog Timer Development and Testing

Developing and programming the software or timers for automated functions within the grow tower, such as controlling irrigation cycles, adjusting light schedules, or managing environmental parameters, requires knowledge of programming languages and electronics. It involves coding, testing, and fine-tuning the software or timers to ensure accurate and reliable operation.

Testing and Adjusting Growing Parameters

Growing plants in a grow tower requires careful monitoring and adjustment of various parameters, including light intensity, temperature, humidity, and air flow. This process involves regularly testing and fine-tuning these parameters to create an optimal growing environment.

Maintenance and Upkeep

Maintaining a grow tower involves routine tasks such as cleaning and sterilizing the system, monitoring nutrient levels, checking for equipment malfunctions, pruning plants, and removing dead or diseased foliage. Regular maintenance is essential for the long-term health and productivity of the grow tower.

Buying from Eden

Start growing today, no headache

Ready to go, today

The Eden Grow Tower (EGT) eliminates the need for extensive research and planning involved in building a grow tower from scratch. With its proven aeroponics technology, all the essential components and techniques are already been integrated.

Tested Components

Building your own grow tower requires sourcing various materials, which can be time-consuming, repetitive, and costly.  By choosing the EGT, you save valuable time and avoid potential expenses associated with finding, purchasing, testing, and replacing the right materials.

2 hrs to Start Growing

 Unlike building a grow tower from scratch, where construction and assembly can be labor-intensive, time-consuming, and require specialized tools, the EGT's pre-designed structure simplifies the process and allows for quick and hassle-free setup.

Aeroponics

 The EGT comes equipped with an efficient aeroponic irrigation system that has been rigorously tested and validated to function as intended. Finding the right pump, nozzles, and fittings takes time. We did that all for you.

Clean and Elegant Design

The EGT utilizes energy-efficient LED lights for plant growth and has its own specific built control system. With these built-in features, there is no need to set up complex electrical systems, reducing the time, effort, and potential costs associated with wiring and ensuring electrical safety.

Lessons Learned

By investing years in finding, researching, purchasing, and testing various nutrient solutions and growing techniques, we have accumulated a wealth of knowledge and experience. Buying an EGT, gains you access to all that expertise from Boeing Engineers with 15+ years experience, without the need to go through the trial-and-error process yourself. 

Professional Grade, Professional Quality

The EGT's automated Eden Control System (ECS) takes care of system calibration, eliminating the need for manual adjustments. The ECS monitors and controls the entire growing process, providing real-time remote monitoring and reducing the time and effort required for troubleshooting potential issues.

Custom Designed Timers

The EGT's automation system and Eden App eliminate the need for software development or timer development. The Eden App allows you to monitor and control your tower remotely, and the system's automation streamlines the growing process, saving you time and ensuring precise timing for essential functions. The timers in the EGT give you the control required to apply the best schedules for your plant needs.

Tested and Verified

Our extensive research has enabled us to create the EGT eliminating the need for constant parameter monitoring and adjustment. We have fine-tuned the design to automate crucial factors such as light, air flow, and watering duration and frequency.

Simple

The EGT requires minimal maintenance compared to a DIY grow tower. The system's design minimizes the need for cleaning, sterilizing, and regular equipment checks, reducing the time and effort required for maintenance. Additionally, the EGT's customer support provides expert advice and troubleshooting assistance, ensuring a stress-free and successful growing experience.
